Week ending the 11^th December

Another busy week recording our Carol Service and completing the Rudolf Run. We have also strted to make Christmas cards.

Homework

Thank you for supporting your child with their homework this week.

Remember they can mark their Maths work themselves at home (answers are in the back of the books). However, we would still like them to bring in their books every Thursday to check that they have done the homework and if they need any help with particular questions, Mr Beswick will be able to work with them before we return the books to the children on the Friday.

Maths Homework

Pages 10 and 11 Written Adding and Subtracting due in on Thursday 17^th December

Next week we will not have a formal spelling test but will complete a variety of spelling activities throughout the week to revise the spelling rules that we have covered this term. The focus has been on adding suffixes to root words.

Just take a look back at the spellings covered over the past few weeks. They can be found in homework diary and are on our blogs.

Spellings for the first week back after the holidays will focus on the rule – the ‘sh’ sound spelt ‘ti’ or ‘ci’

Spellings will be tested on Friday 8^th January – direction, especially, explanation, appreciate, competition, ancient, cautious, delicious, motion, spacious

Curriculum

Art Day on Thursday 17^th December so please bring an old t-shirt as we will be doing some painting.

Home Reading

Thank you to everyone who has been reading at home. We have had lots of diaries signed and consequently the children have been receiving their first raffle tickets for our reading draw.

We have been enjoying quiet reading time in class this week so the children have the opportunity to immerse themselves in their new books.

Our PE day is Friday so please send your child to school wearing their PE kit on that day.

Kind regards,

Mrs Whittingham, Mrs Downing and Mr Beswick
